WAYS TOWARDS NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT
There has been growing momentum behind the vision and steps for a nuclear weapons free world, including:
-
Australia and Japan have launched the International Commission on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament;
-
Both U.S. presidential candidates have talked about the importance of working toward a world without nuclear weapons;
-
The British government has embraced the initiative;
-
Statements from the Indian Prime Minister and other Indian officials have advance the goal of global nuclear disarmament; and
-
Senior statesmen from across parties in the United Kingdom and in Italy have written op-eds embracing the vision and steps toward a nuclear weapons free world.
 The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the PIR Center are working together to advance international dialogue and understanding about reversing reliance on nuclear weapons globally, preventing their proliferation, and ultimately ending them as a threat to the world.
With a grant from the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the PIR Center will be a partner to NTI's Nuclear Security Project working to galvanize global action to reduce the risk of a nuclear weapon being used by increasing understanding, awareness, support and action by policymakers, policy experts and the public around the world for purposefully and significantly changing direction and reducing nuclear dangers.
During several months PIR Center has held a series of round tables and seminars in Moscow:
